Twin Oaks Farm, Historic farmhouse in Bedford County, Virginia.
Twin Oaks Farm is a historic farmhouse in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains displaying Gothic Revival design features. The two-story wooden and log main building has a wraparound porch and sits on an elevated slope surrounded by several outbuildings constructed across different time periods.
The farmhouse was constructed in the Gothic Revival period and remained in family ownership across generations. From 1909 to 1937 the property also served as a production site for a local canning operation that contributed to food preservation methods of the era.
The property served as a working center for farming and community life across several generations. Visitors can observe how the different buildings together formed an operating farm system.
The site sits on an elevated slope offering direct views of the Peaks of Otter from its position on the western edge of the mountains. The various outbuildings are spread across the grounds and are best explored on foot given the uneven terrain.
The property contains several preserved outbuildings including a spring house from 1850, a tenant dwelling from 1916, and a chicken coop from 1920. These structures demonstrate how the farm evolved across the decades with different construction methods and purposes.
